Thanks. Good point about Iran. Reminds me of a joke I heard in 2003 about two Iranian students talking to each other:
Student 1: Did you hear? There's good news and bad news!
Student 2: Really? What's the good news? I always want to hear the good news first.
Student 1: The good news is that President Bush has declared Iran to be part of the Axis of Evil. It's us, Iraq, and North Korea. Most likely he's going to invade us all!
Student 2: Wow, that's the good news? With good news like that, the bad news must be really bad. What's the bad news?
Student 1: The bad news is that he's going to start with Iraq, not us.
The stuff about China seems kind of paranoid, though. How would you distinguish between a nuclear force that they plan to use in a first strike against the U.S., and one with which they were just trying to get nuclear parity with the U.S. and Russia?
